Bio: CJ is the great niece of our first German Shepherd Christine who passed away in 2003.
When my husband Dan & I traced Chris' pedrigee we found a breeder who had dogs from Chris' blood line. Thrilled to find a relative of our beloved girl, we had to get her and name her "CJ" -Christine Junior. She is exactly like her aunt - in energy level, disposition, kindess and stamina, she is still a silly puppy at 3 years old but a more lovable dog you couldn't find.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Concerns from the Dog Park...
Sorry I haven't posted an entry. I want to let everyone know that the bumps Mommy found were removed and I am just fine.
Matty had bilateral hip surgery and our house has been turned upside down. Mommy and Daddy moved the coffee table out of the living room and replaced it with a big air mattress for Matty to lay on since he can't walk. The vet wanted him kenneled 24/7 but Mommy and Daddy felt that would not be good for the pack dynamics if Matty were isolated.
No one sleeps here anymore as a result, since Matty is not being kenneled he has to be watched all the time. Mommy and Daddy sleep in shifts and Grandma came up to help take care of him.
I feel bad for him, I am afraid to go near him because I am afraid I will hurt him. He cries for me to come over but I don't want to, not yet. I told Mommy and Daddy that when I feel he is OK enough I will interact with him. Matty gets cranky and snaps at Hank and me if we come near any of his toys or bones. It's OK for now, I understand but when he is back on his feet he better knock it off.
I also feel bad for Hank-at least I get to do clients with Mommy, but Hank has to stay put in the house. He says he feels ignored and he is upset. I don't blame him, but until Matty can walk on his own I am afraid this is the way it has to be for now.
I went back to the vet on Monday, Mommy found some bumps on the area where I was shaved when I was spayed.
We really thought it was nothing but wanted it to be looked at to be on the safe side. The doctor said we should take them out.
I am not happy, I have to go in the day before Matty has his surgery on March 4th. I wanted to be strong for him, and Mommy found a third bump on me last night.
I know Mommy & Daddy are a little nervous about this. My Aunt Chris had bumps in her chest too. I know I will be fine, humans worry alot more than us dogs do.
Mommy says she needs me to be OK, she loves me and says I am her best demo dog. Matty will be out of commission for a while, and Hank is not great with dogs he doesn't know.
Today I went to the vet office that I ALWAYS get to hang out at while Mommy & Daddy do group obedience classes or puppy classes. I went into the back by the kennels like I always do when I wander back there by myself.
This time was different. I was put in a big kennel and given a blanket. I thought "Whats this all about?"
Then Mommy and Daddy LEFT!!! OMG I started to cry and cry. At least everyone there made me feel better. The staff knows me really well and stayed with me so I wouldn't be upset and frightened.
I was spayed today and had a cyst taken out of my left ear. OWWWW it hurts!!!!!!
Mommy and Daddy picked me up this afternoon and I was SO relieved to get home.
You may ask why wa I spayed now at 5 years old? Well it was because both of the boys, Hank & Matty can't father my puppies. Mommy & Daddy figured someone was trying to tell them not to breed me, and decided to do this. You know something? They were right, turns out I had a big cyst on my ovary and probably couldn't have had puppies anyway. it's for the best and to think I won't have to wear those stupid Big Girl Pants anymore when I am in heat, or have the boys harrassing me.
I couldn't find a spot for myself , so I went on the couch next to Hank and asked if I could lay my head on his back. He said "Of course you can.............." he can be sweet when he isn't acting like a brat. I layed on him for an hour and rested.
Matty was sweet too, he was a little upset at how woozy I was, he licked my face relentlessly. I told him I was OK and to stop being a nudge and he stopped.
I am laying next to my Mommy dictating this diary entry, but I am a little sleepy now so I will write another day and let everyone know how I am doing.
